If I Only Had a Brain … … . A Heart (The Nerve!)

Regions of the Brain Cerebral hemisphere Diencephalon Cerebellum Brain stem (b) Adult brain

Regions of the Brain: Cerebrum Central sulcus Precentral gyrus Postcentral gyrus Parietal lobe Frontal lobe Parieto-occipital sulcus (deep) Lateral sulcus Occipital lobe Temporal lobe Cerebellum Pons Medulla Cerebral cortex oblongata (gray matter) Spinal Gyrus cord Sulcus Cerebral white Fissure matter (a deep sulcus)

Regions of the Brain: Cerebrum Parietal lobe Left cerebral hemisphere Frontal lobe Occipital Temporal lobe lobe Cephalad Cerebellum Brain Caudal stem

Regions of the Cerebrum Central sulcus Primary motor area Primary somatic sensory area Premotor area Gustatory area (taste) Anterior association area Speech/language • Working memory (outlined by dashes) and judgment • Problem Posterior association solving area • Language comprehension Visual area Broca ’ s area (motor speech) Olfactory area Auditory area

Regions of the Brain: Diencephalon  Thalamus  Surrounds the third ventricle  The relay station for sensory impulses  Transfers impulses to the correct part of the cortex for localization and interpretation

Regions of the Brain: Diencephalon  Hypothalamus  Under the thalamus  Important autonomic nervous system center  Helps regulate body temperature  Controls water balance  Regulates metabolism  Houses the limbic center for emotions  Regulates the nearby pituitary gland  Produces two hormones of its own

Regions of the Brain: Diencephalon  Epithalamus  Forms the roof of the third ventricle  Houses the pineal body (an endocrine gland)  Includes the choroid plexus — forms cerebrospinal fluid

Regions of the Brain: Brain Stem  Attaches to the spinal cord  Parts of the brain stem  Midbrain  Pons  Medulla oblongata

Regions of the Brain: Brain Stem  Midbrain  Mostly composed of tracts of nerve fibers  Has two bulging fiber tracts — cerebral peduncles  Has four rounded protrusions — corpora quadrigemina  Reflex centers for vision and hearing

Regions of the Brain: Brain Stem  Pons  The bulging center part of the brain stem  Mostly composed of fiber tracts  Includes nuclei involved in the control of breathing

Regions of the Brain: Brain Stem  Medulla oblongata  The lowest part of the brain stem  Merges into the spinal cord  Includes important fiber tracts  Contains important control centers  Heart rate control  Blood pressure regulation  Breathing  Swallowing  Vomiting

Regions of the Brain: Brain Stem  Reticular Formation  Diffuse mass of gray matter along the brain stem  Involved in motor control of visceral organs  Reticular activating system (RAS) plays a role in awake/sleep cycles and consciousness

Regions of the Brain: Cerebellum  Two hemispheres with convoluted surfaces  Provides involuntary coordination of body movements

The Heart: Valves  AV valves  Anchored in place by chordae tendineae ( “ heart strings ” )  Open during heart relaxation and closed during ventricular contraction  Semilunar valves  Closed during heart relaxation but open during ventricular contraction  Notice these valves operate opposite of one another to force a one-way path of blood through the heart

As the ventricles 2 Chordae 6 fill, AV valve flaps tendineae tighten, hang limply into preventing valve ventricles. flaps from everting into atria. Atria contract, 3 Ventricles forcing additional blood into ventricles. AV valves open; AV valves closed; atrial pressure atrial pressure greater than less than ventricular pressure ventricular pressure Figure 11.6a, step 6

(b) Operation of the semilunar valves Pulmonary Aorta trunk As ventricles 1 As ventricles 2 contract and relax and intraventricular intraventricular pressure rises, pressure falls, blood is pushed up blood flows against semilunar back from arteries, valves, forcing filling the leaflets them open. of semilunar valves and forcing them to close.
